I'm always paranoid of scraping my amuse and I avoid any inclines or declines on the road.........do you always scrape when your lowered?

My biggest problem area seems to be driveways.

I don't have a lip but a full bumper, lowered on coil overs and I find a solution by doublesidetaping some pre-cut sheets of aluminium on the critical areas. Even if you scratch it, who cares, noone can see it right?

I have the Amuse lip and the Espelir Springs. Makes the front end about 5 inches lower than factory. I have no problems driving around town....Just have to avoid steep driveways and pot holes. If you just watch where you dive it shouldn't be a problem and it looks great!
